\nMawida<\/em> means \u2018forest\u2019 in Mapudung\u00fan<\/em>, the language of Mapuche<\/em>, indigenous people of Chile. In the mystical space of a cold rain forest, the energy of life forms within it coexists with supernatural entities. Industrial society and its greed threaten the delicate balance between nature, humans and spiritual forces. Mapuche<\/em> people has fought during centuries for its lands, forests and seas, and pifilka<\/em>, a simple wind instrument with just two notes, has been a magical tool against their oppressors.<\/p>\n
